What's everyone saying?

“Twitterrific’s unified timeline matches the way I think about Twitter: a single, chronological stream of tweets, regardless of type. The fact that Twitterrific is also a great Twitter client with all the other features you’d expect—including separate views for mentions, DMs, etc.—is just icing on the cake.”

“I’ve been an active participant in the Phoenix Kickstarter beta and I’m delighted with the final app. Its elegant features, combined with lot of great UI touches, make Twitter a delight to use on the Mac again.”

Twitterrific 5.3.4

August 2018

On August 16th, Twitter initiated their plan to shut down several services that Twitterrific and other third party clients have long depended on to provide features you've come to know and love. Twitter's rollout of this shutdown was done in stages so that the affected services would flicker 'on' and 'off' with increasingly long 'off' durations until finally remaining 'off' permanently. The final shutdown date has now arrived and as a result we have removed all of the features from Twitterrific that had become increasingly unreliable over the previous week.

Live streaming has been removed. Workaround: Twitterrific will now automatically refresh every few minutes while the app is open, or you can manually pull to refresh.

Direct message delivery will be delayed. Workaround: Wait longer, or use the official Twitter app and/or website.

We are sorry for this and wish we had better news. We will continue to work on the app for as long as we can and explore better workarounds where possible. Thank you for being a loyal Twitterrific customer over the years. We are forever grateful.

BUG FIXES

The option to remove emoji from display names now also applies to muffled tweets

Fixed an issue where muffle rules of the form "@username retweets" were incorrectly matching as if they were "retweets @username" rules

A lot of sadness, 2 bug fixes

Twitterrific 5.3.3

July 2018

IMPROVEMENTS

Renamed the streaming preference to "Automatically refresh timelines"

BUG FIXES

Fixed a crash when uploading videos that were encoded a certain way

Fixed incorrect colors on popovers when running on macOS 10.14

Fixed a few other rare crashes

DISCUSSION

In the coming months, Twitter plans to discontinue the underlying services that we need to provide live streaming. To work around this, we've implemented more thorough automatic refreshing throughout the app - including for Lists which have never supported streaming. Live streaming will continue to work until Twitter shuts it down at which point the app will fallback to automatically refreshing approximately every two minutes while you are using the app.
